In chess a player can sometimes move two pieces in the same move which two pieces?
The king and rook. When castling, it is okay to move two pieces at once. As long as neither the rook nor the king have previously moved in the game, and nothing stands between them, you can switch their places. This is a good move because it at once frees up the castle to move, and also shields the king.
Why are Russians so good at chess?
Russia is a big country with a lot of citizens. Probability has something to do with it. In the 20th century following World War 2, Russia (the U.S.S.R.) made a decision that the state would sponsor excellence in sports, dance, and in other activities - including chess. With a mechanism in place, talent could be found and fostered to see if it developed as hoped. Anyone with any perspective could see the effect of the state's efforts by reviewing the international sports scene throughout the latter half of the 20th century.

What is the difference between a 9 iron and a 3 iron in golf?
Two things, primarily: 1. The 3-iron has a longer shaft (the skinny metal part between your hands and the clubhead) 2. The 3-iron has less loft, meaning that the ball doesn't fly as high as with a 9-iron. I don't recall exactly but I think a 3-iron has about 21 degrees of loft compared to maybe 48 degrees for a 9-iron. These two things make the 3-iron hit the ball much farther than a 9-iron, maybe 200-225 yards vs. 100-125 yards for the 9-iron. But it is also a much harder club to make good contact with, due to the longer shaft and lack of loft.

How do you play the grob chess?
The grob attack begins with 1.g4 followed by 2.Bg2, with the idea of sacrificing the g4 pawn to draw black's light squared bishop to the kingside, whereupon white can continue with c4 and Qb3, with an attack based around the light squares in black's queenside.
Don't play it. It's just awful.
What is meant by this notation g4-e5-f3-Qh4 in chess?
It's simple and cool...a chess board has 64 squares, and when you want to tell your friend that you found a chess game amazing and describe what happened in the game, your friend would be confused if you tell the king moved here and queen moved there and the bishop took knight and rook took queen, because it's hard for you to tell which of the 64 squares the queen started moving from, and which of the 63 it lands on! Also, there are 2 bishops, 2 knights, 2 rooks, and 8 pawns to make matters worse, since your friend won't understand which of the 8 pawns are you talking of!
A simple and well accepted notation exists to solve this problem, you assign a label for each square and an alphabet in upper case for each piece, and viola! You suddenly start explaining games to your friend without any ambiguity!!
The first column of the chess board as seen by you when you play white is called a(starting from left and going to your right), next is b, the third is c, and so on till 8th column, which is h. The first row closest to you is 1, second is 2, and so on till eighth, with is 8. So now, when you play white, the closest square to you to your right is h1, while the leftmost one closest to you is a1.
Next the pieces, queen is represented by Q, rook by R, knight by N, bishop by B, king by K, and pawn has no letter for it. So to answer your question now, g4 means a pawn has moved to the square g4, so is the case for e5 and f3. Qh4 means the queen has moved to h4 square.
Hope my answer helped, cheers!:)
CAN A CHESS PIECE COME BACK TO THE BOARD AFTER IT HAS BEEN KILLED IN PLAY?
No. Once it's out, it's out for the duration of the game.
An advanced pawn (otherwise known as a passed pawn) is a pawn which has no opposing pawns that can obstruct it.

Is any possibility to get a pawn in chess when king across?
I'm not quite understanding this question, but what it sounds like is: do u receive a pawn when your king goes across the board?? if so, then the answer is no, you receive nothing for anything going across the board, except for pawns, which can be turned into any piece except a king or another pawn. Another interesting thing about turning pawns, is if u already have the max of the piece on the board, u cannot turn it into that piece,
2-rook
2-knights
2-bishops
1-queen
hope this answers your question
Checkers is used on a chess board, but the game chess does not use checkers.
Can you legally castle and in doing so put your opponent in check?
Yes, as long as when castling you don't move your king thru a check.
